729 Jiang Yan is patriotic, but he is not stupid either!
Time flies so fast and August 30th comes in a blink of an eye.
A total of 16 teams participated in this World Championship.
Before the quarterfinals, 16 teams will play a total of two rounds of competition, namely the preliminaries and the semi-finals.
The preliminaries are divided into four groups, and the top three in each group advance to the top 12. The semi-finals are divided into two groups, and the top four in each group advance to the top 8.
In the preliminaries, the overall strength of Group B where the Chinese team is located is not strong.
China, Puerto Rico, Türkiye, Brazil.
In the Football World Cup, the Chinese team is in the group of death.
But now, those who thought this was the group of death have become the other three teams.
And this is indeed the case.
From August 30 to September 1, the Chinese team won three games and accumulated 6 points, ranking first in the group and easily advancing to the semi-finals.
Among the three games, the one with the most anxious ground was the game against Turkey, because the opponent's moves were relatively large.
Fortunately, we are not vegetarians either. Jiang Yan said: Our Chinese team does not fight, and we cannot lose in fights!
So in this scene, Zhu Fangyu was like a mad dog, perfectly fulfilling the role of Jiang Yan's knife-wielding bodyguard, fighting with all his might despite the desire to donate blood on his forehead, which almost scared the Turkish team to the point of peeing.
After things calmed down, Jiang Yan stopped pretending and took away the game with six three-pointers. This was like a slap in the face to Turkey, letting them know that the game was tense and it was just Joey who was using them to practice, and they were still
I really thought that I was very strong, so I resorted to various means. Now that I think about it, I feel powerless.
Entering the semi-finals on September 3rd.
The Chinese team still has to play three games in the rematch.
This time the Chinese team encountered some setbacks.
After successfully winning against Spain and Angola in the first and second games respectively, they met this year's big team Yugoslavia in the third game.
This team is very strong. Although Jiang Yan is still sure to break out and take them away by force, there is no need because the Yugoslav team also lost a game before, and even if the Chinese team loses now, as long as the point difference is controlled within
Within 24 points, the Chinese team was still first in the rematch.
So in the last five minutes of the game, Jiang Yan was replaced, and Yugoslavia won the game with a score of 96-79.
In the end, the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals with a total of 5 wins and 1 loss, a total score of 580 points, and a total loss of 483 points.
Later, after the other group's game ended, Jiang Yan also lamented that the strategic loss to Yugoslavia was extremely correct.
Because in the next game, the American team, which is bent on revenge against the Chinese team, will meet the Yugoslav team in advance before the meeting. Only when the United States beats the Yugoslav team and the Chinese team beats New Zealand can the Chinese and American teams go smoothly.
Meet in the semi-finals.
This is interesting, because in the original time and space, the U.S. team encountered the Yugoslavia team in advance, and then set the worst result in the history of the World Championships, failing to enter the semi-finals. In the end, the U.S. team only finished sixth in the World Championships, and Yugoslavia
He also sang loudly all the way and successfully won the championship.
Originally, Jiang Yan thought that because of his appearance, Lao Mei might not encounter such a thing, but now it seems that it is really God’s blessing for Lao Mei!
"Boss, how are we going to beat the American team?"
Zhu Fangyu asked seriously after seeing the schedule.
The rest of the people, including Wang Fei, also looked serious.
However, Jiang Yan smiled and said: "Let's study Yugoslavia."
"You mean.
"
"Yes, I think there are only three heroes in the world: Yugoslavia, Argentina and ourselves."
"What about Team USA?"
"Team USA?" Jiang Yan shook his head, "You will lose Jingzhou if you are careless~"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw the word disbelief in their eyes.
As a result, what happened next was just as Jiang Yan expected.
"Big upset! The United States lost to Yugoslavia 78-81 and stopped in the quarterfinals!"
On September 6, headlines like this appeared in almost all basketball and sports newspapers around the world.
The Yugoslavia team has also become the strongest team in this World Championships, because it defeated the Chinese team with the front foot and the United States team with the back foot. Its strength is so strong that it is almost blown to the sky.
In the next game, the Yugoslav team will face the Chinese team, the opponent they defeated in the rematch. So at this moment, at least 70% of the people feel that the young Chinese team will compete with the American team for fifth place this time.
went.
Domestic fans are also having heated discussions at this time.
Everyone is actually quite satisfied with the Chinese team’s journey this time.
At the end of the latest game, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand and successfully entered the semi-finals. This has already achieved the set goal.
And the fans are not stupid. Everyone knows at a glance that the new Chinese team is actually weaker than it was in Sydney. At the same time, everyone also understands the strategic purpose of training. The key is that this game has not been lost all the way.
And everyone is working hard, which is the greatest confidence.
Everyone will think, now that the new army is like this, was it stronger in Athens in 2004? And you can't always count on the aging golden generation, right?
Therefore, facing the powerful enemy Yugoslavia that they are about to encounter, some people have already begun to say, "Don't lose too badly."

But most people still think that the Chinese team will definitely win because we have Jiang Yan!
Jiang Yan's role can be seen by everyone. He is absolutely assured in critical battles. If he is not replaced when he is ahead, Jiang Yan can keep fighting. His fighting spirit is so strong that sometimes the opponent even leads by more than ten points.
Don't worry, because maybe just as you turn around to pour a glass of water, Jiang Yan will reverse the game with a few three-pointers.
It can be said that Jiang Yan is the most perfect and special kind of player. He is really a great weapon for our team and makes the other team miserable.
So many viewers are thinking that with Jiang Yan here, winning is normal, losing is abnormal, no matter who the opponent is.
Not only the audience, but also some people from the Sports Bureau and the Basketball Association felt the same way.
After all, Jiang Yan's "wake-up call" couldn't affect everyone, and he didn't have time to find everyone to do it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And even if Xin Lancheng woke up after being scolded by him, I believe Lancheng is not in a power vacuum. He also has to consider the interests of all parties, so he was woken up by scolding today.
, you may have to do things against your conscience tomorrow.
So some cancers within the basketball association still exist.
In other words, if the Chinese team really fails to advance to the finals this time, the people will understand. If the public opinion environment is not good, Jiang Yan will definitely be singled out as a target.
After all, you were the one who suggested replacing champions like Hu Weidong, you were the one who said we should use these young players, and you were the one who said the World Championships are not important.
Regarding these situations, Jiang Yan and Dayao Dazhi also talked a lot, and Jiang Xiquan, Zhang Weiping and others also came to comfort Jiang Yan. The general meaning was that there should be no psychological pressure.
And Jiang Yan naturally has no psychological pressure. He is not an ordinary person. He has a golden finger. No matter how strong Yugoslavia is, can he be stronger than a cheater?
And the Chinese team’s lineup is actually super magical.
A combination of the big center lineup and the small ball era lineup.
What is the concept of combining O'Neal and Curry?
In a word, it means that the true power has not yet been exerted.
So it’s not a big problem!
However, during the actual competition, the situation was somewhat different.
Not because he couldn't beat him, but because Jiang Yan was injured!
"There are still three minutes left in the game, and the Chinese team leads by 8 points. As long as this rhythm continues, the Chinese team will have no problem winning the game. We see that Jiang Yan's physical strength is still very good now. This is Jiang Yan, a rare opportunity in a century.
genius.
Oops, what's wrong? This is.
"
Yangshi Wutai, Zhang Weiping started his usual cross talk commentary style again.
Commenting on Jiang Yan’s games is his favorite thing, for no other reason than because it’s fun!
With such strong players and such an elegant style of play, the Chinese team has become one of the top players in the world. How can we not be happy?
From the Sydney Olympics to now, Zhang Weiping feels that he is many years younger.
But today, this feeling of joy came to an abrupt end because Jiang Yan was injured!
On the court, Jiang Yan broke through and dunked, but the defensive players of the Yugoslav team intentionally fought in the air, causing Jiang Yan to fall heavily to the ground after dunking.
"This is a flagrant foul! This is definitely a flagrant foul.
"
Zhang Weiping was so angry that he was speechless.
In slow motion, Jiang Yan attacked fiercely and dunked, but the defensive player made an inappropriate movement with his elbow. He raised his elbow and hit Jiang Yan hard in the ribs, exposing Jiang Yan on the spot.
The color of jealousy and pain.
This was a flagrant foul that couldn't have been more obvious.
Naturally, the rest of the Chinese team refused to let go of the perpetrator, so a huge brawl soon began on the field. Zhu Fangyu waved his fists and started chasing people around, and the live game was also suspended.
Then the camera turned, showing Jiang Yan curled up on his side on the floor with his eyes closed in the crowd, clutching his ribs and his face turned pale. It looked like he was seriously injured.
At this moment, everyone in front of the TV in China felt their hearts skip a beat.
It was not because they had a premonition that Jiang Yan might not be able to complete the next competition, but because they suddenly realized that Jiang Yan was also a human being!
Jiang Yan has always been perfect.
Jiang Yan's singing came out of nowhere, and his first song was all good.
Jiang Yan makes movies, and every one of them is a good movie.
Jiang Yan is the strongest player in the world and has given countless Chinese people too many surprises.
Jiang Yan is so perfect that many people think that Jiang Yan will always win and be perfect, and nothing bad will happen to Jiang Yan, or they have not thought about these things.
But now, looking at Jiang Yan being carried away, everyone didn't know what to say for a moment, so they could only throw all the emotions in their hearts at the head of the Yugoslav team.
"Draft No. 9!"
"Next time, they should be disqualified from the competition!"
"Damn it, he's just here to mess with you if he can't win, isn't he?"
".
"
The public sentiment in the country was aroused.
But this cannot affect the competition on the other side of the ocean.
After Jiang Yan left the field, the game continued.
Flagrant fouls and those who maliciously assault others are ejected.
In the last three minutes, the Chinese team struggled to hold on to the game with only 8 players. Everyone was angry, and the main player of the Yugoslav team was beaten off the field by Zhu Fangyu, which was one of the factors of victory.
In the end, the Chinese team still won.
But for the final against the golden generation Argentina team, no one thought they would win.
Jiang Yan had two broken ribs and had to rest for at least two months.
Without Jiang Yan, the strength of the Chinese team was greatly reduced. Only relying on Da Zhi and Dayao, who had not fully grown up, they could only settle the game at 55 to 83, losing by 28 points, and were directly beaten.
The final was bloodbathed, but fortunately the domestic fans gave them the greatest relief.
On the one hand, the Chinese team played well this time and won the silver medal only because of an accident. This kind of thing is not shameful.
On the other hand, everyone has realized one thing at this moment, that is, the Chinese team really lacks reserve forces.
Without Jiang Yan, Dayao and Dazhi are a bit out of their depth. Everyone can see how difficult it is to play on the ground, and the other players are indeed far behind the players of the Argentine team.
The overall strength is lacking, the New Army has obvious shortcomings, and its reserve force is seriously insufficient. This also shows from the side how important Jiang Yan is.
There are some things that you don’t care about when you have them, but when you lose them, it’s really too late to regret them.
Fortunately, he can still be saved. Jiang Yan is only injured. At the same time, we are still far away from 2008, and everything is too late.
After this battle, the players finally understood how inferior their own strength was compared to the real top players, so they started to really consider Jiang Yan's previous suggestion of studying abroad.
The Basketball Association has also learned its lesson and is not so stupid as to think that it is all the fault of the Yugoslav player.
Therefore, after Jiang Yan returned to China, he immediately came to the hospital to express condolences to Jiang Yan and offered to have a good chat with Jiang Yan and listen to his opinions after Jiang Yan recovered from his injury.
After the leaders left, Jiang Yan smiled.
In this wave of injuries, I did not repair the injuries immediately on a whim, but I can say that I achieved a satisfactory result.
As for the Basketball Association not really learning its lesson, let's just wait and see.
If things go badly again, Jiang Yan won't mind having a big outburst.
Is it really possible for him to accept the situation and do whatever you want, but he still has to carry a weak team by himself, and he has to win the gold medal, and he can't complain at all if he loses?
Jiang Yan is patriotic, but he is not stupid either!
So it's good now.
An injury made fans look at men's basketball and the game rationally.
The assessment of the strength of the Chinese team will not always be in the sky.
Players and the basketball association have also undergone certain changes.
So from this perspective, the Yugoslav player's sudden elbow might really be able to perform a miracle!
Thinking like this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
Then Jiang Yan found an opportunity to go to the toilet and traveled to another world. The injuries on his body needed to be completely repaired, but they were always painful and uncomfortable.
"I think you did the right thing. These grandsons regard you as a cash cow! These people have already thought about it. The good things are all theirs, and the bad things are all yours. What a beautiful idea!"
"But it's okay now. It's not a particularly important game anyway. If you lose, you lose. And without you, they can't achieve results. After recognizing this reality, no one will dare to ignore you. From now on, you will be in the Basketball Association
You can walk sideways, so if you get injured once, it will be more useful than if you win several gold medals!"
In the world of "Peerless Two Prides", after Jiang Yan repaired his injuries, he talked to Wang Hui about the matter. After Wang Hui knew that Jiang Yan's things were developing for the better, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to curse, etc.
After scolding, Wang Hui asked again: "Now that your injuries have been repaired, will you still fight against South Korea in one month?"
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Of course I won't go. The doctor said that I should rest for at least two months. It would be an exaggeration if I go."
"Okay, then if you guys like Sky, just kill me, and let's go to the world of "Wind and Cloud" as soon as possible."
"What's wrong, tired of staying here?"
"I miss my parents."
"Okay, let's kill you now, and I will make arrangements for you when we return to Hengdian."
